Yeah but you're comparing one city to an entire country. We can't all get to the same club within an hour or so etc.

Also, and many older toronto ta's will acknowledge this, there used to be less segregation here due to music discussion/chillout being full of everyone getting on, regardless of where they're from, now many people don't use more than just their local forum, and i can see why, but the overall ta unity feeling was bigger back then in a global sense

Originally posted by ZZandirt it appears so! fight da power was really an experience. last year's planet pro berlin was also great. (but very "different" ) there are some rumours regarding the "Berlin B Parade", however nothing confirmed 'till now. my last info is that permits &shit are applied for, however the date has been postponed to juli (iso june) !! this also has been notified to city councel. the organisation claims to have sponsors plenty and already 20 float-applications

Decent, look forward to hearing more news of this closer to the time.

Fight the Power was indeed the most impressive music event I've ever witnessed.

I think most poeple post in Chilliout room instead of here as its very busy there and everything there gets replyed in couple of secnds.

meh im still around and still like trance, probably not some of this new shit, but there are some good tunes out there

tyrellllll my fav police officer

Here's what an oldskool TA thinks of all this!

I agree with most people here that TA was a very big thing in the beginning, 2001 and 2002 especially. People seemed to be much more united, even outside the region sections.

Coup, you probably remember how we all met up at Trance Energy in 2002? There was a massive global TA meetup near that cinema inside the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, you guys from England came with like 10 people, there were NLTAs, some from Sweden, Poland, Belgium and France! 50 TAs total!

This was really amazing and we had lots of fun. Such gatherings are rare now.

I've never posted much on TA though, but I kind of stopped altogether after 2002..I don't know...there were all these new immature people coming and invading TAs, that's when flame wars began etc, so fucking annoying.

True that we were all united behind one music style back then, which made for less different opinions. Someone here said that everyone branched off into their own kind of music, this is absolutely true.

I'm from France, but I remember how big UKTA was back in the day!
There actually used to be lots of "fights" between UKTA and FRTA, that was fun to watch

Not so long ago (well, maybe 1 year), there used to be a similar fight between FRTA and Australia TA, was so hilarious, TAs from both sides would hijack each other's threads, with pics of kangaroos and French baguettes, lol.

I don't hang out on FRTA much because most people there bore me, with silly immature jokes and promoting their mixes all the time, but I've got to admit that it's much more active than what UKTA has become! Even though there are only 10 decent trance parties in France each year.

I've moved to England in September and I'm glad to be here, you parties are brilliant, just as nice as in the NL really!

I was hoping that I'd meet some more UKTAs, but that's when I realised how dead the board had become. Oh well, it may be partly my fault, too, I haven't been posting much!

I hope this thread will be a wake-up call, let's organise more meetups at parties from now on guys!

You might not even notice I'm actually French

Love your sig.

i think all boards grow and then become elitist making it very difficult for new members to "join in". Slinky forum is going down that route at the moment.

But their are plenty of other very active trance related forums. Godskitchen, DSI, Harderfaster, Peachey Ravers etc etc......

Most of us who have been going out for a while have lost the enthusiasm slightly, c'est le vie.

COR FTW!~!!

perfect example. this is why it's dying or dead.

im sure TA isn't dead, its just not as good it was in good ol' days, nights at The Republic and Pause in shef and will always be the best nights ever! I don't post on here cuz im in a totally differnet scene now! very very happy here in chester, working as one of the organists at the cathedral. certainatly wasn't complaining when they handed the keys over to my rent-free apartment in the cathedral grounds!

miss all the old timers, and i reckon u know who u are

I have to say my first trip to gatecrasher with toby, tyrell and adam was one hell of an experience, and meeting a load of people i had only spoken to on the internet was not scary at all. I already felt like i knew these people, and i already did. I had been speaking to them every day for 6 months.

And i will always remember the first trip to the NEC with about 13 of us meeting up. My last meet up was the gkgg i think back in 03. That was a huge meet up, and i still have the pics to this day.





They were some of the best times of my life, and everyone i met was an amazing person, and we all shared the same love of trance

Amazing pics! Wow, they really kick ass!
This was what it was all about back then...I wish I had been in the UK at that time!

I recognise some faces though

Thanks for sharing!!

some mad hairstyle's there

Fecking hell stu, those certainly bring back some memories. Good times!

i'll have to post my pic from fight the power 2004 when i get home tonight, with about 50 of us in it

I am so insanely jealous that words have failed me completely. If you were there, just be grateful and hold on to the memories. You had the opportunity and the mates at the time to make the most of what was obviously an amazing time. You are lucky, lucky guys, every one of you.
